Revisiting Martha

I've worked on a few more bands since my last post. The Blackwork is done but I am delaying stitching the Queen's Stitch pineapples until an arthritis flare up abates. I love Queen stitches but they require a delicate touch. Pineapples symbolized hospitality in colonial America.

The next divider is another pink on pink band: the Crossed Cushion.

The following band is a fan stitch representing Martha's love of dancing and balls and entertaining. I've just started the top sritching that shapes the bottom of the fan.
